The Bolshoi Opera, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Eugene Onegin

The opera Tchaikovsky wrote using Pushkin’s verse novel as a libretto is more a portrait of the alluring Tatiana than of its eponymous hero. The heartbeat of the young heroine who embodied the virtues of fidelity and devotion and inspired the admiration of generations of authors, including Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, provided Tchaikovsky with the rhythm for one of the 19th century’s finest lyric works. Two years after its first performance by students at the Moscow Conservatory, Eugene Onegin was premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1881. The late Romantic opera has been in its repertoire ever since.
